Adding this to my up next. Looks very interesting. Thanks.

The Chinook is 38-40ibu The simcoe additions, respectively are: - 32 - 12 - 4 I was thinking of doing a less bitter and more fragrant version, subbing the Chinook for another ounce of Simcoe for dry hopping. Since its on the higher end of the Myrcene oils it would kick up the woody and zesty...

Yes it is. I would put mash/sparge water on there but each persons system is a bit different. I use a BBIAB method these days with a partial sparge, so my numbers would be different from most

150f.

Hey everyone. This is a great autumn beer with a really nice pine flavour from the Chinook and Simcoe, along with a slight bit of grapefruit that's not overwhelming (like some IPAs can be) I had some friends by on the weekend and they went through over half the keg, so I'll be making another...

Lol. Fair enough. And for the whole style of brewing, I get the craft of it as well. It's fun, and gives more control (or at least the feeling of more control, I'm not really sure). They do look satisfying. Maybe if I had a garage I'd be there with you. But it looks like so much more work...

Total = 8578 :) (Soon to be much much more it sounds like)

This being the first year with a 4-tap kegerator, my brewing increased exponentially. I’ll try to remember it all: 10 gallons Flanders Red 10 gallons Cascade IPA 5 gallons Three Floyd’s Zombie Ipa 10 gallons Denny Conns Rye Ipa 5 gallons Yoopers oatmeal stout 10 gallons Vanilla Bourbon Porter...

I know i’m going to get some flack for this question, but for the price of all that equipment, not to mention the space it takes up, why not just go for a more efficient and compact all in one brew system? Having used both for some time now I find a boiler with temp controller and circulation...

Has anyone tried calling any of the sporting goods stores? Places that fill paintball guns and things like that might do fills.

I'm trying out this recipe for the maiden voyage of my new grain father. So far the pre-boil gravity is 1.05, so it looks like it has a pretty good efficiency. Will check back to let you know how it all works out.

I did check, and there was little pressure left in the keg. I tried again and there wasn't any new pressure. When I get home from work it looks like I should look into the 02 input poppet. EDIT: Yes, thank you guys. It was the c02 input poppet or the ball lock connector. I just took it off and...

Ahh yes good point. I haven’t checked for clogged poppets. I’ll report back once I do.

Hey everyone. I have a weird problem that i can’t figure out. I have a keezer with 4 kegs on a distributed. My C02 tank appears to still have C02 in it, but one of the four kegs just won’t pressurize. It’s the one with carbonated water in it rather than beer. It’s carbonated but the keg...

Very nice. I'm thinking about building a wooden facade around my Keezer, with enough space at the side to house the C02 tank, with a little trap door to hide it. I was thinking about using pallets as well, but wasn't sure if it would look 'rustic' or just broken and dirty. But I like the look of...

Kegging. The rum idea is fantastic. thanks for the idea.

I have some dried pineapple left over, and I'm wondering if you think it would work in a beer (with or as a substitute for the orange peel)? Any thoughts?

I've been reading about how malto dextrin is horrible poison and you should never use it in any food or drink. Is this all hippie nonsense or is there legitimate concern about it?

Am i reading the recipe right that there’s 4 packs of yeast in total in this? I’m going to just pitch the one as well i think, but i’d like to know the rational behind the excessive amount of yeast.
